INTRODUCTION 1

Criteria for GCSE

This specification meets the General Criteria for GCSE and the Subject Criteria for GCSE
English Literature issued by ACCAC/QCA (September 2001). Assessment for this
qualification is carried out according to codes of practice published by the regulatory
authorities. The qualification may be undertaken through the medium of English only.

GCSE qualifications are reported on an eight-point scale from A* to G, where A* is the
highest grade. Candidates who fail to reach the minimum standard for a grade to be awarded
are recorded as U (unclassified) and do not receive a qualification certificate.

GCSE qualifications are expected to show broad equivalence to General National Vocational
Qualifications in the following terms:

two GCSEs at grade D to G and two GCSEs at grade A* to C are equivalent to one three-unit
GNVQ at foundation and intermediate level respectively;
four GCSEs at grade D to G and four GCSEs at grade A* to C are equivalent to one six-unit
GNVQ at foundation level and intermediate level respectively.


Rationale

This specification is based on the conviction that the study of literature should centre on an
informed personal response to a range of texts in the genres of prose, poetry, and drama.

Students will not be allowed to take texts into the examination. However, a “clean” copy of
the anthology will be provided for candidates sitting the Specification B paper.

Assessment is through coursework assignments and a terminal examination. Teachers and
their students have flexibility in the choice of texts to be studied, and some overlap with
GCSE English is possible and, indeed, encouraged. It is felt that the study of literature can
greatly enhance a student’s writing skills, and that practising his/her own writing skills can
lead a student to increased enjoyment of, and success in, reading.


Prior Learning

Although there is no specific requirement for prior learning, this specification builds upon the
Programmes of Study for English Literature in Key Stages 1-3.

This specification may be followed by any candidate, irrespective of their gender, ethnic,
religious or cultural background. This specification is not age specific and, as such, provides
opportunities for candidates to extend their life-long learning.
GCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE 4


Progression

This specification provides a foundation for Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE study
in English Literature and English Language and Literature. However, the reading and other
skills candidates develop are vital in the further study of many subjects at an equivalent level.


Overlap and Restrictions on Entry

This specification overlaps with WJEC GCSE English, and coursework assignments may be
dual entered. There are no restrictions on concurrent entry for other qualifications.

The classification codes for this specification is 5110.

Centres should be aware that candidates who enter for more than one GCSE qualification
with the same classification code, will have only one grade (the highest) counted for the
purpose of the School and College Performance Tables.


Candidates with Particular Requirements

Details of the special arrangements and special consideration for candidates with particular
requirements are contained in the Joint Council for General Qualifications document
Candidates with Special Assessment Needs: Regulations and Guidance. Copies of this
document are available from WJEC.

AIMS 2
A course based on this specification should enable students to explore their literary interests
and to be enthusiastic, responsive and knowledgeable readers. They should be given the
following opportunities:

* To read, understand and respond to a wide range of literary texts, to appreciate the
ways in which authors achieve their effects and to develop the skills necessary for
literary study.
* To be aware of social, historical and cultural contexts and influences in the study of
literature.
* To construct and convey meaning in speech and writing, matching style to audience
and purpose.

The spiritual, moral, ethical and cultural dimension

English Literature is a subject that requires candidates to consider the cultural and historical
context of literary texts. Through their studies they will, therefore, have opportunities to
reflect on a range of spiritual, moral, ethical, social and cultural issues.

Citizenship

The specification gives candidates opportunities to develop the skills of critical and analytical
reading. It also allows them to both express and develop their point of view in writing and
speaking, whilst encouraging them to consider critically and constructively the views of
others. This ability to make informed and considered judgements is a skill vital in the
development of individual citizenship.

This specification also underpins the development of a range of Key Skills. These too are of
vital importance to individuals in the wider world.

The European dimension

Good reading skills in English are essential not just in England and Wales, but also in the
wider context of Europe and the world. This specification supports the development of these
skills, and provides opportunities for assessment of them in different contexts.

Opportunities for use of ICT

Candidates are encouraged to word process their coursework assignments. This will support
the skill of drafting. However, at least one piece in an English Literature or dual entry folder
must be hand-written.
Candidates may choose to access ICT-based information in their study of literary texts, and
thus develop the mature and critical use of documents on the Internet and in other non-print
based media.

Curriculum Cymreig

Candidates in Wales also studying GCSE English may dual enter a coursework assignment
based on the reading of work by a Welsh writer, set in Wales, or with a special relevance to
Wales.

Texts with a Welsh dimension may be chosen for the terminal examination and the internally
assessed and externally moderated coursework element. GCSE ENGLISH LITERATURE 6


Environmental issues

Candidates may be offered the opportunity to study literary texts which deal with
environmental issues.

Health and Safety considerations

There are no Health & Safety issues associated with the requirements of this specification.
